    CinemaCon: Warner Bros. Reveals Slate Led by Nolan/Snyder 'Man of Steel,' 'Pacific Rim,' 'Gatsby'

    by Anne Thompson on April 19, 2013

    Warner Bros. believes in franchises, none more than Superman, which studio chief Jeff Robinov has been struggling to reboot for some time now--after audiences protested Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns." Thus "Man of Steel" was the high point of the 90-year-old studio's CinemaCon presentation this w...

    Indie Box Office Preview: Will Rob Zombie Score With 'Lords of Salem'?

    by Peter Knegt on April 19, 2013

    Rob Zombie isn't usually typical "specialty market fare," with his last three features -- "The Devil's Rejects" and the two new "Halloween" films -- each getting initial wide releases that led to sizable opening weekend grosses (the "Halloween" films took in $26 million and $16 million, respectively...

    by Anne Thompson on April 18, 2013

    by Anne Thompson on April 17, 2013

    Every year CinemaCon rolls out the $100 Million Reel; it's a tradition to remind the exhibitors of the movies that scored in their theaters.

    Weekend Box Office: '42' Leads Weekend, Breaks Baseball Movie Records, 'Scary' Series Ends

    by Tom Brueggemann on April 14, 2013

    Old-fashioned period baseball biopic "42" opened surprisingly well and shows signs of long-term play. The Jackie Robinson film provides struggling Warner Bros. with a much-needed hit. But the weekend was modest overall, with a top ten grossing about $105 million, the same as last year, but down from...

    Indie Box Office Preview: How Will Malick's 'To The Wonder' Perform In Its Debut Frame?

    by Peter Knegt on April 12, 2013

    Terrence Malick isn't exactly known as known as a box office king, but his five previous films have managed some pretty impressive numbers considering that their content isn't exactly mainstream. Two years ago,  "The Tree of Life" opened to a massive $93,230 average from four theaters (and even...

    Arthouse Audit: Self-Distributed 'Upstream Color' Shines in NY; 'Trance' & 'Company You Keep' Solid, Not Great

    by Tom Brueggemann on April 7, 2013

    Three new openings showed potential this weekend.

    Weekend Box Office: 'Evil Dead' Rises to Top, 'G.I. Joe' Plummets, Fights for Second with 'Croods'

    by Tom Brueggemann on April 7, 2013

    Sony's remake of "Evil Dead" performed better than expected, but fell just below the best horror film opening of the year. "Evil Dead" took #1 for the weekend, a position Paramount hoped to retain for its expensive "G.I. Joe: Retaliation." That film is a global hit, but is fighting for the #2 spot w...

    'Evil Dead' Leads Friday Pack, 'Jurassic Park 3D' Stomps in Second

    by Tom Brueggemann on April 6, 2013

    "The Evil Dead" opened well enough on Friday to make it a likely fifth horror-related film to make #1 in 2013. The twelve top-ranked horror flicks thus far have kept the year's to-date grosses from falling off more than they might have otherwise due to several underperforming costly would-be tentpo...

    by Peter Knegt on April 3, 2013

    The first quarter of 2013 has come and gone, and it's unlikely to have left too many film studio execs in good moods. The overall box office is down 13% from last year, with "Oz: The Great and Powerful" and "Identity Thief" the only new films to break the $100 million mark (though "The Croods" and "...

    by Tom Brueggemann on March 31, 2013

    "The Place Beyond the Pines" is the second limited opening of the month to open better than expected, and among the strongest ever early-year launches.
